I think that the best usage for distributed computing in connection to the Genome Project would be a threading analysis:
Predict the coding sequences in a given portion of the genome and then thread them across a representative selection of the PDB, checking which structures represent probable proteins.
The problem here is that the amount of data to download would be rather significant, so we might not get a lot of participants.
